I remember when I first saw the video for "Handle with Care" and being baffled by all of these amazing artists being together performing a wonderful song. I immediately got the tape and loved it and my father was the biggest Roy Orbison fan I ever knew. He subsequently made me a fan and quickly commandeered my tape and proceeded to wear it out from playing it so much. Luckily, I was on the cusp of getting my first CD player and a new tape for my father's car made a nice gift. This album will always be special to me because it was a great bonding moment musically for my father and me - the generations coming together, gasp! Among the tragic parts of Roy's death was that he was in the middle of a career renaissance that would have likely turned more people of my generation (I was only 17 when this came out) onto this amazing talent. Both my father and Roy are gone and sadly, so are George and Tom, but thankfully, we have so much incredible music left to always remember them, and I have great memories of my father wearing out my Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 cassette. Great video as usual, Doug.
Hi Doug, loved hearing this great song again. Straight after I reminded myself of another Wilburys song called Not Alone Any More where Roy took the lead vocal. What a voice!
Great video, as usual. If you'd like to do another Traveling Wilburys song, I vote for 'Handle With Care'. Great song. Imo, better than 'End of the Line'. Thanks a lot, Doug Keep up the great work
There's a lot of Springsteen-titles in that song for sure (Thunder Road, Factory, Mansion on the Hill, Stolen Car and even an ottake from the Born In the USA-sessions: Lion's Den!) And the backdrop for the song is New Jersey. Dylan even mentions Jersey Girl, the Tom Waits song made famous by Springsteen.
LOL. I didn't know Tweeter and the Monkey Man was Springsteen inspired. I mean... it makes perfect sense. It's more that I don't know how I didn't notice having been raised in a Springsteen household. Both of my parents are life long E Street fans. I'm listening to it right now and actually paying close attention to the lyrics.... wow... how did I not notice all the Springsteen nods in this?!?! LOL
When this album was released, they all promoted it, and I recall an interview that George gave, saying it was the first album he made where he didn't worry about what others thought about the music he was making, and he added "like Bob has done his whole career."
This is a song that gives me joy When you said, "Oh Roy", that got me, so many no longer with us, what talent! I think the thing that hits you, apart from the loses, is that they did this song because they wanted to. They didn't have to do it, they loved it Please show more Thanks Doug
Just noticed Van Morrison's "Moondance" album behind you. Certainly one of my favourite albums of all time from an amazing artist. Wonder if you could do a reaction on his album "Astral Weeks" one day. Absolutely fantastic album that.
I lived in the area of Birmingham where Jeff Lynne grew up and wrote his early songs, I used to walk past the house on my way to work. To this day it amazes me just what a huge talent was hiding behind the front door of a very unassuming Birmingham City council house in Shard End. Love how you say "it just makes you feel good"....Jeff wrote many feel good songs
I just saw Jeff Lynne's ELO for the first time a week ago Friday. He probably is the finest musician I've seen live; it was a fantastic show. With Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and George Harrison all gone, I feel grateful that I could at least see one of these guys live.
Jim Keltner on the drums was never credited with being an actual Wilbury, but they did give him the name of Buster Sidebury. I remember getting this CD for my birthday in March 1989 and people wondering why I would want it. Are you kidding me? The names in this band are pure legends. It brought me to a better appreciation for Dylan, I already dug all the other guys, and it elevated my love for the work of Jeff Lynne even more. Suffice to say, the cd lived in my car for months on repeat mode.
Jim Keltner the drummer should always get a name check, he did a fantastic job, check out the travelling wilburys 'the true history of the travelling'. brilliant choice.
Amazing how that much talent (and egos) could sing with such great harmony. At that stage of their respective careers is probably the only reason it did work. Magic.
My dad passed away 5 years ago and this was one of his favourite songs, great song that brought great comfort to me just after he had gone, now it makes me smile thinking of the memories, great song.
The story goes that when they were recording, if anyone made a mistake (or at least played something they thought they'd like to change), everyone else said "Don't worry, we'll bury it in the mix" Thus all such recording glitches became known as "Wilburys" and that turned into the band name 🙂
I'm so glad I watched your reaction to this Doug. I'm headed towards the end of the line myself and hearing, no, LISTENING to these lyrics really helps in making the ride a little easier. Thank you for sharing this! "It's all right..."
This song has the "train feel" of classic blues shuffle. Chicka chucka, chicka chucka. An absolute classic from some of the greatest legends. I love that the liner notes for The Wilbury's two albums, "Vol. 1" and "Vol 3", were done by Michael Palin from the comedy troupe Monty Python.
Hello Doug. I’m Roger from France. Forgive my poor English. I love your work and I thank you for that. Speaking about Super Groups, do you know Little Village ? Only 1 CD exists. Ry Cooder & John Hiatt (with Nick Lowe & Jim Keltner) did it in 1992. It’s a Great Record !!! And one song deserves your attention. Big Love is a great track and I’ll hope one day it will be on air ! Respect Doug. Roger
When I was a kid I liked the music but thought these guys were ancient. As a middle aged adult it was a sobering surprise to realize they were in their late 30s, early 40s (Roy excepted). 😅
As legendary as the Wilburys were, it gets cranked up even a notch higher in the video of their song "The Wilbury Twist" which features John Candy (from "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" and many other movies") and Eric Idle from Monty Python. Make sure to check out the video of "The Wilbury Twist"!
Both albums are excellent. (Don't spend long hunting for Volume 2 as it doesn't exist! 😂) A lot of great tracks. Handle with Care is worth a listen next. 😊
Most of life's lessons are learned the hard way. I think the main message is-no matter if it's good times you are having or bad, before the end of the day, recognize the good times-hopefully as they are happening because these are the moments in time that you can carry with you into the uncertain future, and it's all right, no matter what happens next because you already had those great moments to reflect on at the end of the line.
It is the sort of magical situation where so many really great musicians ended up together with the common goal of great music and having a good time doing it. To some extent generational, to some extent a big spread on styles, but all together in some of the most comfortable music. The funny part is each of their voices is so unique and yet a perfect harmony set. Sort of a once in a lifetime situation.
The original Wilburys were a stationary people who, realising that their civilisation could not stand still forever, began to go for short walks - not the ‘travelling’ as we know it, but certainly as far as the corner and back. They must have taken to motion, in much the same way as penguins were at that time taking to ledges, for the next time we hear of they they were going out for the day (often taking lunch or a picnic). Later - we don’t yet know how much later - some intrepid Wilburys began to go away for the weekend, leaving late Friday and coming back Sunday. It was they who evolved simple rhythmic forms to describe their adventures. From the sleeve notes. I always suspected this was Michael Palin, and a little research just confirmed it.
THE WHOLE ALBUM IS INCREDIBLE..... YOU CAN HEAR EACH OF THEIR INFLUENCES, VOICES AND THEMES..... OFTEN WRITTEN FOR EACH OTHER TO BE THE PRIMARY VOCAL TALENT.
I am glad that you put this group on your chanel. I have been listening to them since the late 80´s. If you want suggestions for other songs from this group i would suggest Tweeter and the monkeyman with its very detailed story or the song Margarita that is the opposit with its close to instrumental theme. Both are great songs that i higly recommend
I’ve said this quite a few times, but, it bears repeating: This song speaks to our own mortality, and how we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously, and just enjoy life while we’re here. I think you should’ve done Handle With Care first, as a jumping-off point, but, you may as well do it next. Also, check out Inside Out(great harmonies!), She’s My Baby, Poor House, Where Were You Last Night?, and, Tweeter and the Monkey Man(great storytelling).
There are no bad songs on this album. It's worth a full listen. The "making of" mini-ducumentary about the making of this album is a great watch as well. I think it's available on You Tube
A few decades ago Bob was in the verge of death. When he came back, there was a concert for him. At the concert Chris Christofferson took a crying Seinead O’Connor, (who just got booed off stage). He wraps her in a hug and says one of the greatest lines ever: “Don’t let the bastards keep you down” And now both of them are gone and Bob lives on.
As far as I remember, after deciding to do an album, the went fresh into the studio and started to create a song from scratch. In the evening they had a new song recorded. Day by day after ten songs had been done. This album, as well their second and last one, called Vol.3 still stands the test of time! Check out, at least, "Handle With Care" and "Tweeter and the Monkeyman" Enjoy :)
The special thing about their music, nobody of them had to prove a thing, just friends making beautiful music together and having fun. Wonderful, right?!
Heya Doug. I just watched your conversation with Rachel Flowers. I want to thank you for that great look into her music and her thoughts. I've been interested in her for a couple of years now and I feel that her insight and mastery of music is only eclipsed by her sparkling personality. I haven't seen anything from her for the last two years and wonder what she is up to.
Roy Orbison was struggling a lot at the time the group formed with his popularity. Geoff (who work on Roy's last album), and Tom, both penned with Roy, You Got It, which thrust him back in to the limelight with the album that was released shortly after his passing. You can hear all three's influences on it. A supergroup that sadly didn't get to carry on. It's such a simple melody as you say, but remember they are the best in the business. Don't over complicate it. And as for the Roy tributes - the guitar on the rocking chair, and the picture, are just great.
You must listen to Handle with Care - it was used frequently in the various tributes to George Harrison after his early demise and is now regarded as a classic
George Harrison was "Nelson Wilbury," Bob Dylan was "Lucky Wilbury," Roy Orbison was "Lefty Wilbury," Tom Petty was "Charlie T. Jr.," and Jeff Lynne was "Otis Wilbury." Jim Keltner their Drummer went by the moniker Buster Sidebury.
Great song of a great supergroup! I'm from Buenos Aires and hear them back in The 80s. I'm glad if You reacts to Judas Escariot by Rick Wakeman. Thanks for your raccion, i see You in every new video You share. Saludos desde Buenos Aires!!!
Loved this as a kid when it came out, not being fully aware of the giant status all of the members already had. I still have got their 'Vol.3' album they did after Roy's passing. It's usually regarded considerably weaker than the first album,but I still think it's a very nice, fun album.
When Jeff and George were recording Cloud Nine, they had some defective equipment. The joke became “That trembling, we’ll bury ‘em in the mix”. This is how the legacy of the Traveling Wilbury’s was born. And now you must simply hear Handle With Care.
Definitely listen to Handle With Care. It's another great track from TR: Volume 1. I'd also recommend Tweeter and the Monkey Man, as it features Bob Dylan - it's wonderful and dramatic.
The rocking chair still gives me goosebumps. These guys are amazing. A very comforting song indeed.
tear up every time i see the video. today was no exception. Bob and Jeff are all that are left.
Amen.
😎
I love the tribute to Roy, since he passed before the video was made.
His picture and the rocking chair with his guitar during his vocals.
We have to hear Handle with care soon. Roy’s vocals 🔥 🔥🔥
Oh yes please. It makes me cry and it's a beautiful song.
So sad only Jeff and Bob still with us.
What a joyous group of legends.
Don't forget Jim (Buster Sideburn), his still alive and on tour with Bob.
Calling this band a "Super group" is a MAJOR understatement.
Metagroup.
Super Duper Group?
5 greats 0 ego.

Keep up the great work
Tweeter and the Monkey Man comes to mind. It's a Springsteen inspired song and it's mostly a Bob Dylan song from what I have read.
Part of my All Monkey Playlist. Proudest Monkey. Monkey Gone To Heaven, and more.
There's a lot of Springsteen-titles in that song for sure (Thunder Road, Factory, Mansion on the Hill, Stolen Car and even an ottake from the Born In the USA-sessions: Lion's Den!) And the backdrop for the song is New Jersey. Dylan even mentions Jersey Girl, the Tom Waits song made famous by Springsteen.
Must listen is the Canadian band the Headstones cover Tweeter and the Monkey Man 10/10 cover
The only Bob Dylan song I like. After enjoying this I thought I could get into Dylan. Still can't.
LOL. I didn't know Tweeter and the Monkey Man was Springsteen inspired. I mean... it makes perfect sense. It's more that I don't know how I didn't notice having been raised in a Springsteen household. Both of my parents are life long E Street fans.

I think the thing that hits you, apart from the loses, is that they did this song because they wanted to.
They didn't have to do it, they loved it
Please show more
Thanks Doug
Simple words, simple music, beautiful message. Amen, brother.
As far as I’m concerned, Jim Keltner is a full member. He’s just as much a giant as the rest of the fellas.
Buster Sidebury.
@@davidtooke5964
Yeah, Buster!
Just noticed Van Morrison's "Moondance" album behind you. Certainly one of my favourite albums of all time from an amazing artist. Wonder if you could do a reaction on his album "Astral Weeks" one day. Absolutely fantastic album that.
Moondance one of my favs too
This is a great great track Doug, love it. Thanks for choosing….
Next one handle with care 😊
I lived in the area of Birmingham where Jeff Lynne grew up and wrote his early songs, I used to walk past the house on my way to work. To this day it amazes me just what a huge talent was hiding behind the front door of a very unassuming Birmingham City council house in Shard End. Love how you say "it just makes you feel good"....Jeff wrote many feel good songs
Remember, it will all be alright in the end. And if it's not alright, it's not the end.
For me, the Traveling Wilburys are the apogee of supergroups. For my generation (50s and up), anyway. There just isn't any finer than this.
Late too the party, thank you Doug for the great reaction, a happy song about death...yes it's alright.
I just saw Jeff Lynne's ELO for the first time a week ago Friday. He probably is the finest musician I've seen live; it was a fantastic show. With Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and George Harrison all gone, I feel grateful that I could at least see one of these guys live.
You totally enjoyed this Doug. This makes the listener happy. A truly great song.
Thanks for playing this one, Doug. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Man what a wonderful masterpiece of a song.
Somehow they figured out how to write a great song with their tiny songwriting heads.
Jim Keltner on the drums was never credited with being an actual Wilbury, but they did give him the name of Buster Sidebury.
I remember getting this CD for my birthday in March 1989 and people wondering why I would want it. Are you kidding me? The names in this band are pure legends.

Suffice to say, the cd lived in my car for months on repeat mode.
The three best songwriters ever. In the same band😂 insane.
This is the first time I hear the story of the empty rocking chair for Roy Orbison. I see there was a guitar in the chair too. Thanks for sharing.
I love this song. I picked up the CD, but haven't listened to it for many years now. Awesome. Thanks for the reaction.
Jim Keltner the drummer should always get a name check, he did a fantastic job, check out the travelling wilburys 'the true history of the travelling'. brilliant choice.

I love your work and I thank you for that.
Speaking about Super Groups, do you know Little Village ?
Only 1 CD exists.
Ry Cooder & John Hiatt (with Nick Lowe & Jim Keltner) did it in 1992.
It’s a Great Record !!!
And one song deserves your attention.
Big Love is a great track and I’ll hope one day it will be on air !
Respect Doug.
Roger
Pound for pound, the Traveling Willburys is the greatest band ever.
I love the line "Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive," there's something so freeing about it.
Handle With Care is wonderful 😎
They're second album was of couse navmed "Vol. 3"
When I was a kid I liked the music but thought these guys were ancient. As a middle aged adult it was a sobering surprise to realize they were in their late 30s, early 40s (Roy excepted). 😅

Not Alone, Tweeter and the Monkey Man…. Just phenomenal songs.
Doug, check the CV of the 6th Wilbury - Jim Keltner (Drums).
Actually he's a Sidebury...
Handle With Care, obviously.
I agree with you. Today we don't have to many like them. Thanks for the show🎼🎹🪕🥁🪗🎻📯🎸🎶
Love The Willburys, amazing super group, what a lineup!!!
Fabulous thanks Doug 👍
Pure joy from real talent.
What a lovely song! Thank you Doug for sharing this.
Both albums are excellent. (Don't spend long hunting for Volume 2 as it doesn't exist! 😂) A lot of great tracks. Handle with Care is worth a listen next. 😊
So sad when you think 3 of these legends are gone. Too sad. 😢. Rocking out in heaven now 🎸
Most of life's lessons are learned the hard way.

Another one of George’s great life affirmation “mantra” songs. Love your Out Of The Blue album cover featured on the background shelf.
It is the sort of magical situation where so many really great musicians ended up together with the common goal of great music and having a good time doing it. To some extent generational, to some extent a big spread on styles, but all together in some of the most comfortable music. The funny part is each of their voices is so unique and yet a perfect harmony set. Sort of a once in a lifetime situation.
I still have a DVD of how it all went down. Completely spontaneous and magical
The original Wilburys were a stationary people who, realising that their civilisation could not stand still forever, began to go for short walks - not the ‘travelling’ as we know it, but certainly as far as the corner and back. They must have taken to motion, in much the same way as penguins were at that time taking to ledges, for the next time we hear of they they were going out for the day (often taking lunch or a picnic).

From the sleeve notes. I always suspected this was Michael Palin, and a little research just confirmed it.
Love your analyses and insights Doug! I suggest perhaps 'Inside Out' as another Wilburys track to investigate.
Doug, you gotta listen to and do a video of ‘handle me with care. ‘Absolutely fabulous song by George and the gang all right good show man rock on.!
THE WHOLE ALBUM IS INCREDIBLE..... YOU CAN HEAR EACH OF THEIR INFLUENCES, VOICES AND THEMES..... OFTEN WRITTEN FOR EACH OTHER TO BE THE PRIMARY VOCAL TALENT.
And a little bit of humor from them, their next album was called Volume 3. No vol 2.
I love the way you have 2 of my favourite albums next to each other on you wall: close to the edge and boston
I always loved that band since there first album 🤘🏼😊
Not Alone Anymore is one of my favourite Roy Orbison songs.
Great choice! Time to do some Dylan: His Bobness.
Oh the joy I feel when I listen to any song from this album 😊
I am glad that you put this group on your chanel. I have been listening to them since the late 80´s.
If you want suggestions for other songs from this group i would suggest Tweeter and the monkeyman with its very detailed story or the song Margarita that is the opposit with its close to instrumental theme. Both are great songs that i higly recommend
I have listened to this album, or at least a few songs, every single week since it came out. Love it
I actually got to see Roy Orbison open for The Eagles during the long run tour in 1980
I’ve said this quite a few times, but, it bears repeating: This song speaks to our own mortality, and how we shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously, and just enjoy life while we’re here.
I think you should’ve done Handle With Care first, as a jumping-off point, but, you may as well do it next. Also, check out Inside Out(great harmonies!), She’s My Baby, Poor House, Where Were You Last Night?, and, Tweeter and the Monkey Man(great storytelling).
Your not alone anymore! Roy Orbison is just fantastic on that track!
There are no bad songs on this album. It's worth a full listen. The "making of" mini-ducumentary about the making of this album is a great watch as well. I think it's available on You Tube
Sad to think that there are only two of them still with us.
A few decades ago Bob was in the verge of death. When he came back, there was a concert for him. At the concert Chris Christofferson took a crying Seinead O’Connor, (who just got booed off stage).
He wraps her in a hug and says one of the greatest lines ever:
“Don’t let the bastards keep you down”
And now both of them are gone and Bob lives on.
Sensational Album!
As far as I remember, after deciding to do an album, the went fresh into the studio and started to create a song from scratch. In the evening they had a new song recorded. Day by day after ten songs had been done.
This album, as well their second and last one, called Vol.3 still stands the test of time!

Enjoy :)
The special thing about their music, nobody of them had to prove a thing, just friends making beautiful music together and having fun. Wonderful, right?!
WIIIIIILD that Tom's dug up a what looks like a Danelectro Longhorn baritone!
None of those musicians were in the band. It was the five Wilbury Brothers. They all bear a striking similarity to those you mention, though.
One of the great coincidences in popular music!!
@@coolusername588 Nelson was my personal favorite. But that ‘Lefty’ was pretty good, with a voice like fine wine.
Love me some Otis!
Imagine this as a Beatles song. Ringo singing Jeff's part, John for Petty, Paul for Roy, and of course, George.
She's my baby is their rocking song. Off the second CD. Video also
Doug you need to check out the entire album..in fact both of them are very good.
I recall one of them in an interview questioned if you could have a "SuperGroup made up of five rhythm guitarists! lol
Great memories:) road trip from Vancouver to California this CD on repeat ❤️❤️
For a “pick up” band, these guys created some of the best examples in the pop-rock idiom: Tweeter and the Monkeyman, anyone?
One of the greatest “feel good” songs of all time. You actually only have 2 left; Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan.
it IS a great little song....love it
Heya Doug. I just watched your conversation with Rachel Flowers. I want to thank you for that great look into her music and her thoughts. I've been interested in her for a couple of years now and I feel that her insight and mastery of music is only eclipsed by her sparkling personality.

Don't over complicate it. And as for the Roy tributes - the guitar on the rocking chair, and the picture, are just great.
You really must do Handle With Care.
Doug, you should analyze George’s “Beware of Darkness”…. The chord changes and modulations are so cool!
You must listen to Handle with Care - it was used frequently in the various tributes to George Harrison after his early demise and is now regarded as a classic
It's a beautiful message....it'll be alright
George Harrison was "Nelson Wilbury," Bob Dylan was "Lucky Wilbury," Roy Orbison was "Lefty Wilbury," Tom Petty was "Charlie T. Jr.," and Jeff Lynne was "Otis Wilbury." Jim Keltner their Drummer went by the moniker Buster Sidebury.
Great song of a great supergroup! I'm from Buenos Aires and hear them back in The 80s. I'm glad if You reacts to Judas Escariot by Rick Wakeman. Thanks for your raccion, i see You in every new video You share. Saludos desde Buenos Aires!!!
Loved this as a kid when it came out, not being fully aware of the giant status all of the members already had.
I still have got their 'Vol.3' album they did after Roy's passing. It's usually regarded considerably weaker than the first album,but I still think it's a very nice, fun album.
Just a beautiful album - if released today I think it would still be a hit !
Man what a great song. Handle with Care is obviously next, right?
Hard to believe that half the members of the group are gone. 😢
Love Roy Orbison's voice.
When Jeff and George were recording Cloud Nine, they had some defective equipment. The joke became “That trembling, we’ll bury ‘em in the mix”. This is how the legacy of the Traveling Wilbury’s was born.
And now you must simply hear Handle With Care.
Definitely listen to Handle With Care. It's another great track from TR: Volume 1. I'd also recommend Tweeter and the Monkey Man, as it features Bob Dylan - it's wonderful and dramatic.
What’s crazy is that I’m 50, and I’m older than all these guys, except for Roy who was an elderly 52. It blows my mind.
Tweeter and the monkey man
